The Center for Health and Democracy's president, Wendell Potter is a leading advocate for health care reform in both the political arena and the marketplace. He is also the editor-in-chief of HEALTH CARE un-covered, which investigates and reports on health care corporations and insurance conglomerates. He frequently posts on X.

A New York Times bestselling author, Wendell returned to his first career of journalism after serving for two decades as head of communications for two of the country’s largest insurers, Cigna and Humana. He became an industry whistleblower when Congress was debating what became the Affordable Care Act. Wendell testifies before several Senate and House committees, pulling the curtains back on prevalent industry business practices that result in higher health care costs and a growing number of uninsured and underinsured Americans.

His first book, Deadly Spin, won numerous awards and is still used in journalism and health policy classes at universities across the country. He has contributed to The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today and many other publications, and has appeared frequently on CNN, NPR, MSNBC, Fox Business and other media outlets.
